How It Works
Our laser is a class IV deep tissue laser. It works by penetrating deep into the tissue, without causing damage. The energy it emits, triggers a biological response called “photo-bio-modulation.” This occurs on a cellular level which reduces pain, inflammation and increases blood circulation and the speed of recovery. The laser light is delivered through a hand piece, treating the affected area.
There is no pain involved, only a mild, soothing warmth at the area the laser is being used. As most treatments only take a few minutes, many pets, even if normally nervous or reactive at the vet’s office, quickly relax and even seem to enjoy the warmth and massage that the laser provides.

Each site on your pet only takes a short amount of time for the procedure to be performed, so you can wait while it is done.
